Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Business of Mining The mistake that is most Often made in business is to suppose that we grow rich by taking riches from other men, or that nations prosper by depriving other nations of their prosperity. That would be true if Iiches consisted only Of money, and if there were just so much money and no more in the world. But that is not so. Nations grow rich, that is to say, get comfort, ease and luxury, only when other nations are growing rich too, only because other nations are growing rich. And so it is with individuals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Economics of Mining The pages of this book furnish a reprint of a number of arti cles, bearing upon the cost of mining, which have appeared in the engineering and mining journal between January, 1903, and June, 1905, a period of two and a half years. As affecting the economic aspect of a world-wide problem, I have included a number of articles dealing with those ethical and financial con siderations which are no less important to the industry than the scientific principles underlying the actual breaking and milling of ore at the mine. For the editorial comment I am respon sible; some of it, in the light of ampler evidence or maturer thought, I would like to change; but any alteration would in volve a recasting of the material detrimental to its value as a record of professional discussion during the period mentioned.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hidden Mines, and How to Find Them: Contains the Information Called for by the Ordinary Business Man, Who Is Interested for Business Reasons Only, in Mines, Metals and Ores The use of scientific terms has been avoided where possible, and when used, care has been taken to explain their meaning and application. In short this work is intended for the benefit of the business man, the investor, the ranger, the settler, and those generally, who, if given a little knowledge of Mines and Mining, might be induced to turn that knowledge to practical account. The first part proper, deals with rocks, giv ing a general idea of how they are formed and altered, and how mineral deposits of value to commerce occur in them, with the names and characters of rocks commonly met with in mining sections. The third part sketches the means em ployed to determine, or identify, the different ores and minerals, with a list of all known elements and their symbols. Part four contains a description of each of the ores of the metals, of use as such in the arts, with a knowledge of how they are tested by simple means, and the methods employed in their treatment on a commercial scale.

Download or read book Hittel on Gold Mines written by John S. Hittell and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hittel on Gold Mines: And Mining of California In quartz mining the auriferous rock is ground to a very fine powder, the gold in which is caught in quicksilver, or on the rough surface of a blanket, over which the fine material is borne by a stream of water. About two-thirds of our gold is obtained from the placers, and one-third from the quartz. A mine is defined and generally understood to mean "a subterraneous work or excavation for obtaining metals, metallic ores or mineral substances;" but this definition does not apply to our placer mines, which are places where gold is taken from diluvial or alluvial deposits. Most of the work is not subterraneous; it is done in the full light of day. In some of the claims the pay-dirt lies within two feet of the surface; in others it lies much deeper, but all the superincumbent matter is swept away. Water is the great agent of the placer miner; it is the element of his power jits amount is the measure of his work, and its cost is the measure of his profit. With an abundance of water he can wash every thing; without water he can do little or nothing. Placer mining is almost entirely mechanical, and of such a kind that no accuracy of workmanship or scientific or literary education is necessary to mastery in it. Amalgamation is a chemical process it is true, but it is so simple that after a few days experience, the rudest laborer will manage it as well as the most thorough chemist. It is impossible to ascertain the amount of gold which has been taken from the mines of California. Records have been kept of the sums manifested at the San Francisco Custom House, for exportation, and deposited for coinage in the mints of the United States; and there is also some knowledge of the amounts sent in bars and dust to England; but we have no account of the sums carried by passengers to foreign countries and coined elsewhere than at London, or used as jewelry, or of the amount now in circulation in this state. According to the books of the Custom House of San Francisco, the sums manifested for export were as follows: In 1849, $4,921,250; in 1850, $27,676,346; in 1851, $42,582,695; in 1852, $46,586,134; in 1853, $57,331,034; in 1854, $51,328,653; in 1855, $45,182,631; in 1856, $48,887,543; in 1857, $48,976,697; in 1858, $47,548,025; in 1859, $47,640,462; in 1860, $42,303,345; in 1861, $40,639,089; a total of $551,603,904 in twelve years. The exportation of gold commenced in 1848, but we have no record of the sums sent away in that year. Previous to 1854 very large sums were carried away by passengers, who gave no statement at the Custom House; since that year, the manifests show the exportation correctly within a few, millions. I am entirely satisfied that the total gold yield of California has been not less than seven hundred millions of dollars; but I have not room here to state the reasons for this opinion.

Download or read book Mining Securities Classic Reprint written by Pope Yeatman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mining Securities And yet the mine, thus made the object of speculation and perhaps aban domed in disgust, may be really of value and capable of being worked so as to pay a moderate profit on the capital actually invested in its development. But the idea was given out in the beginning of the enterprise that it could be made profitable at once, and because this has not been the case, the holders of the stock lose all confidence and refuse to furnish the capital, without which hardly any mine, however rich it may be, can be put into a condition in which it can for any length of time be worked with profit. The system which prevails in this country of chartered companies with a large number of shares, seems especially adapted to make the mining business, which contains so much of the lottery element of uncertainty in it, a mere object of stock speculations. The records of the last few years (prior to 1854) show almost without exception that companies with large fictitious capital and an enormous number of shares, have been got up for the purpose of swindling the public, and not for bona fide mining purposes. It may be laid down as a universal rule, that the stockholders in a mining enterprise should be_ kept fully informed in regard to the expenditures and operations of the company. A frank and full publication is the only guarantee of sincerity and good faith. When these things are more generally understood and the public refuses any longer to be victimized, we may expect to see a less noisy but far more effective development of our mineral resources than we have yet had.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sixth Report of the Bureau of Mines, 1896 The total amount of authorized capital is and all excepting five or six of the twenty-two companies incorporated have been organized to carry on operations in the gold fields of the Province - prospecting, developing and mining. Besides these, there are companies formed under the Imperial Joint Stock Companies Acts, one or two of which brought in large sums of money to spend in opening mines and the erection of works to treat ores. Agreement With an Eng lish syndicate to explore under license of occupation. Many people of small means have been led to invest their savings, and, towards the end of the year, there was a rush for shares in all kinds of mining companies in and out of the Province, some of which were of more than doubtful substantiality. Fortunately the excitement did not reach a serious stage, and, under the new statute of the Legislature for the regulation of extra-provincial companies, the promoters of wild-cat schemes will find that before stocks are sold in the money markets here some better assurance of their worth must be given than a gilded advertisement in a newspaper. Mining stocks may be as safe as stocks of any other kind, yet experience everywhere shows that there is a temptation to exaggerate their value, and that gold stocks especially have a glamour to draw the unwary. It is not the wealthy classes in England as a rule that buy mining shares, and those who have suffered most severely from the drop in South African stocks are ones who could least afford it. There is great need of capital in this country to build up mining but the earnings of one industry should not be squandered in another, and prudent measures of legislation skilfully administered may give valuable service in even so delicate a matter as' the investment of capital, especially when the business is in a far-off field and carried on under other laws than our own.

Download or read book Manual of Mining written by M. C. Ihlseng and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-26 with total page 746 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Mining: Based on the Course of Lectures on Mining, Delivered at the School of Mines of the State of Colorado Based originally upon lectures delivered at the Colorado State School of Mines, between 1880 and 1888, the various editions received only such additions and changes as were necessary in its use as a text-book in the mining schools of this and other countries. The Author of the Manual of Mining presents in this edition a complete revision of the work, which now assumes the form of a collaboration with the authors mentioned below. Mr. E. B. Wilson, who needs no introduction to the mining public, brings to the original work a wide range of experience and ability, an accuracy of detail and a discrimination in description, contributing highly to the value of the revision. He has devoted himself particularly to Chapter III of Part I and Chapters V, VI, VII, and VIII, of Part II. Originally planned for Metal-mining, the first issue of the book gave small place to Coal and its extraction. This new edition has of necessity been enlarged to include Coal-mining in all its phases, with full descriptions and many illustrations of modern methods and machinery. The later devices in power generation and distribution, as the steam-turbines, oil, and compressed-air engines, with such appliances as have proven themselves meritorious in economy and safety, are elaborately treated.
